Meteora was alone. Having been forbidden from seeing Rasticore again was kinda... it. It was what made her break down. Even if she did get to see him every night, it wasn't enough. She wanted to do stuff! Break more rules! But she just...stayed in bed. Her parents were really worried about her. So just as Eclipsa was about to open the door to talk to her daughter, she heard something.

A ukulele playing. That was good, right? It's the first instrument she's ever learned how to play. Wanting to "Be like Mommy" even though guitars were too big for her when she was that young. But the words that went with that song... That melody. The Queen knew them by heart. Mainly because they are her own song. The first song she taught Meteora how to play.

"When the sun has set, and the night has come, we'll creep out the garden and go have some fun-"

Eclipsa left the area, not wanting to hear any more of that song. It made her feel like her mother. Forcing her child to sneak around to see the one she loves.

When she taught the girl that song, she never expected it to get used like this. Noy for the reason it was made...

Eclipsa was terrified. Becoming her mother was something she still feared. And here she is with it coming true. But she can't trust him! After that mess with her daughter and not keeping her in her room after being trusted to do so.

Rasticore was just too unpredictable to be around her daughter. So there Eclipsa sat, silence making her go deaf as she held her head in her hands, trying to think of what she was supposed to do.

She couldn't just let him back. It would be confusing and overall just stupid. And she couldn't keep this up. If it's forbidden love, it only gets stronger.

Although...Eclipsa still didn't trust him. She thought he was bad news and would end up getting her hurt. Emotionally and physically.

The Queen decided to go talk to her husband about this. But upon walking past her daughter's room she couldn't help but stop and listen.

"No more sneakin around...One day we'll have our day"

Eclipsa sighed and shook her head. The emotion the girl was putting into those lyrics...It was more than she ever had.

The woman kept walking, going to her room to sut down and talk to Globgor.

"Do you think i was a little...Cruel? I punished her for trusting a monster...Coming from me, that's like...I'm turning into my mother"

"You didn't do anything wrong. She shouldn't have trusted him"

"But you know how hard it is for her to trust anyone! She barely trusts Mariposa and they've been friends since they were infants!"

The man sighed and pulled his woman into a soft hug. He shook his head as she hugged back.

"She trusts him because she's known him longer than we've been free. Over 300 years of knowing him would be enough to get me to trust him... don't you think? But you did much less than i would have. So I'm glad you did what you did"

"...She was singing our song..."

Silence. He knows the importance of it. And he knows exactly what that means.

"... Let's just watch and see what happens...Ok?"

"Ok...Thank you honey"

He smiled and hugged her tight. Knowing the right thibg to say was always hard. But it seems he just did it.
